‘Die Hard’ Meets ‘Olympus Has Fallen’ in Overlooked Actioner Seeking Redemption on HBO Max

Collider · 3 hours ago

Daisy Ridley's action-thriller "Cleaner", directed by Martin Campbell and released to poor box-office returns, is now streaming on HBO Max, giving the film a chance to find an audience it missed in cinemas. The move highlights Ridley's struggle to headline a hit since Star Wars: Episode IX — The Rise of Skywalker, following the earlier critical and commercial failure of Chaos Walking, though she has an upcoming comeback vehicle in Ti West's Ebenezer alongside Johnny Depp.

Made on a reported $25 million budget, Cleaner stars Ridley as Joey, a former soldier turned window cleaner at a London high-rise who becomes an unlikely action hero after witnessing a terrorist plot while suspended on the building's facade. The film is directed by Martin Campbell, best known for the James Bond reboots GoldenEye and Casino Royale, and also features an actor long linked with Bond rumours before ageing out of contention for the role.
